A Major Change

That's it... I'm switched majors. After a confusing re-admissions effort I am officially returning to school on September 30th.  I am no longer chasing the Game Art & Design dream, it's too risky and with all the layoffs in the industry I'll be competing for the same jobs with people that have a lot more experience than I will. So I’ve decided to go Graphic Design & Web Design.

I already freelance as a Graphic Designer and have historically refused Web Design jobs, due to the fact that I did not enjoy the work. The fact of the matter is I did not enjoy it, because I am not an expert. Just like anything in life, if a person does not excel at a specific type of work it has a tendency to become frustrating, but also; with a proper amount of tenacity and dedication said person will eventually become skilled at that task.


If I get the proper training strengthen my skills in this field then I will be able to earn a significant amount of money. And the best part is that as a Web/Graphic Designer I can work from anywhere in the world. Don't worry, though, I will continue improving my painting skills. And one day I will be published. My manuscript isn't going anywhere. For now, however, Web Design projects and experiments need to take center stage.
